TRIPREPORT | Shanghai Airlines (ECONOMY) | Boeing 787-9 | Budapest - Shanghai Pudong

8:59 The cabin is ready to sleep: Literally everyone is on their screens.

[@saranshchaudhary5228]

This is spooky, I was just looking at flights to shanghai from Manchester and the option via budapest with shanghai airline’s 787 was available and so I looked up trip reports for the shanghai airlines 787, and not only did I find it! But I got a notification for this video a couple seconds after pressing the search button! And it’s on the same route and everything!

[@Peizxcv]

This just proven the observer effect. By search for a flight with Budapest to Shanghai leg, you changed the Quantum decoherence of this universe and caused Simply Aviation to fly to Shanghai and not another city. The effect propagates backward in time so that's how he took the flight before you even caused him to take it

[@saranshchaudhary5228]

Peizxcv I’m too stupid to understand that, but the fact that you know quantum science is crazy cool

[@landoswag04]

Pretty good demand on airline empires

[@vidkabekcuebals25591]

It is because it's China and we have loads of people...

[@AB-im4bz]

Shanghai airlines is China Eastern subsidiary, connections connections.. Plus business wise and budapest being one of European top tourist cities the aircraft will be full. China southern launched further xian and chengdu routes to budapest operated by shanghai airlines. Whole of Asia and Oceania is connected, just like Emirates only relies on connecting passangers to fill up planes.

[@nntflow7058]

Most (apart from few major one) routes to china depends solely on tourist demand.

[@Bleifuss88]

Was on a China Eastern A350 flight recently (don't worry, just before COVID-19). And their safety instructions video also shown here is the cutest thing I've ever seen on an airplane. Had to smile when they were jumping the slide like it's a game.

Yes the BUD Airport is so crowded at that time, I also flew with Shanghai Airlines from BUD to PVG. Around that time you have LOT Polish to JFK, AA to Philadelphia Emirates to Dubai, ElAl to Israel and a lot more long haul international flight and unfortunately BUD airport is so small and cannot handle that amount of people.:(

[@DanTheCaptain]

Budapest Airport just went under renovation and is in the profess of building a new pier with a dozen wide-body gates! According to the planes they plane to build another second pier on the opoosite side, so the crowdedness should go down a bit.

[@KXY5]

Love this video, especially because it is from Budapest. You should also try once the Budapest-NewYork route

[@hongyuwang5791]

About the numbering of the rows, they use a system that’s kind of like 1-10 for first class 10-30 for business class, and 30+ for economy class. The reason why is it will be easier for check-in desk.

[@craigwillis3372]

[@scottprice4813]

Took this airline LAX to BKK round trip in 2017. They had the segment between Shanghai and Bangkok. I remember complimenting the crew. Interesting thing- the coffee was served in thermal pitchers as normal but was a mocha type drink- learned it was a Chinese style. The meal was about like yours - wouldn't have received it on a US carrier with a similar route.

[@normanmcleod7169]

Much the best economy class food I have seen for a while! Don't worry about not showing the entertainment system. I know it is important to some people but that is the bit I always skip.

Majong are best game to kill time when flying long haul on Chinese airline. Easily get player from another passenger. 1 games normally takes 3 - 4 hours, 2 games already reach destination.

[@hc6720]

The seat numbering rule is, First:1~10, Business: 11~30, Economy: 31~. Even if the prior class numbers are not fully utilized, for example, first class only has 3 rows, business still starts with 11 and economy always starts with 31.

[@annecy49]

I am pleasantly surprised by the meals that were served. The portion size was good for Economy class and the presentation excellent! I wonder what it could have been in Business!

I'm a bit curious as to why you don't check in online and have the boarding passes on your phone, I do it all the time and have never had any problems.

[@simply_aviation]

It doesn’t work for flights to countries where you need a visa, because you only get the boarding pass after presenting your visa at the check in desk...

[@totallybtm]

The welcome doormat is a good idea but the color and design look tacky. U notice the Chinese passengers like to talk a lot in the cabin though it is not loud or disturbing. But they just keep talking non stop. I don’t understand. It seems like everyone that has a mouth has to have words coming out from it almost non stop.
